            Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
                    .setAction("Action", null).show();
        }

Your layout doesn't have any `FloatingActionButton` with id `fab`. — andrea.petreri, Jan 21 '16 at 18:56

Add a floating action button to your layout called fab.

Example:

<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
    android:id="@+id/fab"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
    android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin"
    android:src="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_email" />

FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
//etc..

Is refer to FloatingActionButton, so probably you have deleted the code on xml file and then you have to delete the code (java) relative to Fab or you can add:

<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:id="@+id/fab"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin"
android:src="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_email" />

on your layout.xml

Try adding following Gradle dependency:

compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.0'

followed by gradle sync.
